Abstract

A gardening tool has a handle 1 from which extends an integral prong (2). A further prong (3) extends to one side of the axis of the handle 1. The handle (1) and the prong (2) generate a gentle arc which follows the natural line of a hand (projecting from an arm of the user) which grasps the tool. The tip of the prong (3) is slightly longer than the prong (2). This tool can be inserted into small gaps for working the ground and the prongs allow for the soil to be stirred up by rotating the tool about the prong (2), or by tilting the whole tool, by manipulating the handle (1). The tip of the prong (3) can be of forked form for use in engaging the root of a weed after that prong has been inserted into the ground.
